Commercial design

Interiors that carry a brand.

Boutiques, spas, salons and retail. We design the room a guest remembers, and draw it so it can be permitted and built.

What to notice

Light as materialStone is lit from behind. Timber is cut by lines of light. No room relies on a ceiling grid.

A room per moodDark and architectural at reception. Warm and domestic in the lounge. Each treatment room is its own.

Daylight keptWhere there is a window, sheer curtains keep the light and lose the parking lot.

  • 05Studios & officesDaylight to the desks first, meeting rooms second, glass where it helps.

03 — Process

From lease to opening day.

  1. Step 01

    Brief

    Your brand, your guests, your lease and your opening date. We start from all four.

  2. Step 02

    Concept

    Plan, mood and materials for the rooms a guest sees first. You approve a direction.

  3. Step 03

    Permit set

    Plans, elevations, lighting, power and plumbing, drawn for tenant-improvement review.

  4. Step 04

    Build support

    We answer the contractor, review submittals and walk the space before you open.

04 — Commercial code

What plan review looks for.

A tenant interior is reviewed for more than looks. These are checked on the drawings before anything is built.

Occupancy & egress
How many people the space holds and how they get out.
Accessibility
Routes, counters, restrooms and reach ranges under the ADA Standards.
Plumbing fixtures
The count your occupancy requires, and where they can go.
Lighting & energy
Controls and power limits under the adopted energy code.
Finishes
Flame-spread and slip ratings for what goes on walls and floors.
Code & permits in detail
